What is the CSTF?

CSTF stands for Core Skills Training Framework and the UK CSTF was launched by Skills for Health in 2013.The aim of the CSTF is ‘to enable consistency in the corecontent of statutory and mandatory education and training’by creating a set of documents and processes that supportorganisations to align to the same standard and content. Having this framework standardises training and makes it portable.
